So any review I write cannot fo Nicky and Rich justice. And I cannot write enough amazing things about them.

If you are looking for people who really understand children, are completely child lead, gentle and embrace you into their home and family … look no further.

From the moment we met them my son was at home. After a traumatic start elsewhere I was extremely anxious. But they took time to settle my anxieties and welcome my son (who never actually needed to be settled).

He became instant Best friends with Rich. And Nicky became like a second mumma for when he was there.

He has never once cried going in. He has asked to go on a Sunday too.

They completely understood my parenting style. And it aligned with their child focused and child led approach. Mud is memories. And there’s never wrong weather only wrong clothing.

Outdoors is a must most days and the kids get to enjoy nature, exercise and sunshine most days. The day trips they take to the beach farm park and beyond create nothing but excitement and opportunities to build confidence and learning.

My only negative is that they wouldn’t relocate with us! (Obviously I mean this in jest) - Nicky and Rich became our family. And we are all devastated to be saying “see you soon” and not goodbye.

I cannot thank them enough for looking after my baby when I was having to work. And creating a safe loving and nurturing environment for him.

If I could have given unlimited stars I would have.
